Mrs. Jacobsen was the mother of Mrs. Lee Lawrie, of New Haven; Finn Haakon Frolich, of Hollywood, Mrs. Helga O'Connor, of New York City, and Mrs. Katrine Hvidt Bie, of Brooklyn; all of whom survive her.

She was eighty-two years old. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Lawrie in New Haven on August 12th. NEWMAN-Mrs. Theodore, 17 Montgomery Place, August 11th.

Mrs. Newman, who before her marriage was Miss Lottie Frances Peed, of Brooklyn, died suddenly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Irwin, of 17 Montgomery Place, as the indirect result of an injury sustained a few days previously while stepping off train platform in the course of a trip from her summer home at Atlantic Highlands to that of her daughter. The injury at the time was not thought to be serious and her sudden collapse came as a great shock to her husband, family and friends. The Brooklyn home of Mr.

and Mrs. Theodore Newman was at 302 Park Place. By a strange coincidence Mrs. Newman's death occurred on the day of the funeral of her sister-inlaw, Miss Grace Newman, of 12 Monroe Place. She leaves her husband, her daughter, Mrs.

Irwin, a son, Mr. Charles Howard Newman, and several grandchildren. MORGAN- Mrs. Jane Norton Grew, Glen Cove, L. August 14th.

Mrs. Morgan, who was the wife of Mr. J. P. Morgan, the banker, had been ill of lethargic, encephalitis or "sleeping sickness" for two months.

The immediate cause of death was a heart collapse induced by an attack of indigestion Tuesday of last week. Mrs. Morgan had been improving previously to her final collapse, and her death was unexpected. Mr. Morgan, who had been constantly at his wife's -bedside, was at his office in Manhattan when the end came.

He reached the Glen Cove home three hours later. Two sons and a son-in-law of Mrs. Morgan were off New London, aboard the Morgan yacht Corsair when she died. When she was first taken ill her husband was on the Corsair cruising in Long Island Sound. He was summoned back by wireless and Junius Spencer Morgan, Henry Sturgis Morgan, and George Nichols were called back to Glen Cove by a radio message to the yacht.

Mrs. Morgan, who was a member of a prominent Boston family, was married to Mr. Morgan thirty-five years, ago. They have two sons and two daughters. Mrs.

Morgan shunned society and had managed to remain persistently in the background throughout her life. Horticulture was her one pastime, her flowers frequently having won first prizes. Those who met her, however, found her kindly and unusually sympathetic. Her popularity among the permanent residents of Glen Cove, who knew of her quiet philanthropies, was remarkable. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at the Church of St.

John of Lattingtown, Locust Valley, It was while attending service in this Church that Mrs. Morgan was stricken with her fatal illness on June 14th. After the brief and simple ritual, the cortege went to the Fresh Pond Crematory, in Queens. The ashes were interred in Locust Valley Cemetery. TOUCEY- -John Great Neck, L.

August 11th. Mr. Toucey accidentally slipped and fell down a flight of stairs in his home on Monday evening. His skull was fractured and he died without regaining consciousness. Mr.

Toucey is survived by his wife and two children, Grace and John Jr. His mother was abroad when the tragedy occurred and could not get to Great Neck in time for the funeral. WHITEHOUSE-Ethelbert, 16 Willoughby Avenue, August 17th. Mr. Whitehouse, who came from Baltimore originally, is survived by his wife, Mrs.

Louise M. Whitehouse, and a sister, Miss Edith Whitehouse. Funeral services were held at the Fairchild Chapel on Wednesday, and interment was at Woodhaven. Our Dog and Us pretty sore about it. My friend is a Foxterrier like my cousin, Abe, and he certainly does like to hunt rabbits.

He said that one Saturday he chased up the best rabbit he had ever seen, and that rabbit would hide from him all around a big pile of brush; but every time he got hidden for a few minutes from my friend, instead of getting under something, the way we city dogs do under the bed, he would sit up on his hind legs and put his two front paws together and wiggle his nose around in frantic rabbit prayers. That is what a big two-legged dog said, who was standing and watching the whole thing. Well, after my friend had chased the rabbit a long while and at last pretty nearly got him, what did that two-legged dog do but say that he guessed that he would act the part of God, and he picked up my friend, the fox terrier, in his arms, and would not let him down again until the rabbit was far out of sight, and my friend was awfully mad, and he told me that he had a lot of sympathy with Jerry Cruncher when he said to his wife, "I ain't a-going to be blest out of house and home. I won't have my wittles blest off my table." My friend says that he isn't going to take any more of those week-enders out walking with him, that come to visit the boss. He says they are too soft and Citified.

Well, dogs, I may go on a camping trip with Abe. His boss is coming to town, and he and my boss are planning to go in Abe's automobile. We are going to see Sandy Steele at Plainfield, N. on our way to wherever we happen to go. I will be glad to get off as my boss has gotten into the tennis habbit and has been going to Forest Hills every day this week, and leaves me here with nothing to do but throw the sofa cushion around.

I pull them all off onto the floor and then, if I can get at any of the boss' clothes, I pull them off the hooks and lie on them: but it makes a long day at that. Well, I guess I will have something different to tell you about the camp when I write again, SO Keep Smelling, dogs. DEAR DoGs I just heard from one of my friends in the country, and he has been telling me how a rabbit "flopped agin him" down at Peaconic Bay a few weeks ago and got his prayers answered, too. I tell you, my friend was Smelling, SOCIAL The Fish she is There country legged Dogsa the Yours truly, WILLIAM WINKIE, boss and I are so sorry to hear through Bobby that his boss has been so ill in London. We hope all well now.

is a plumb-pudding dog living on Sandy Steele's estate at Plainfield. I believe that the twodogs call them Damnation dogs. Litchfield is summering at Litchfield Park in.
